Grand Funk Railroad: Mark Farner (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Don Bewer (vocals, drums); Mel Schacher (bass). Craig Frost (Keyboards) Recorded live at Madison Square Garden on December 23rd 1972.
Nothing gets the blood flowing on a Sunday morning like this song. I think the original video was captured off of someones TV set so the audio is not that good either. That makes it really hard to follow as well cause it speeds up and slows down a bit..
But look at their faces - they are all having such "a good time" that night.
I believe that this was also the night that their manager wanted to stop this show with a NYC sheriff due to the lawsuit that was between them!
This is a great video that captures them at the prime in a live environment. You hear Don in the background letting out his emotions every 10 seconds with a lot of "Yeah's"
If you watch the ending, Mark almost wipes out. Looks like he slipped on something. Might have been a banana peel or something. That would have sucked. Such a great performance only to end it with a wipe out. I hope I breathed a little life into this song and added some fidelity to a otherwise flat recording.
